When the actual operating current of thefan 100 is less than or equal to the rated current of thefan 100 and the actual operating current of theheating element 200 is less than or equal to the rated current of theheating element 200, if the actual rotating speed of thefan 100 is less than or equal to the rated rotating speed of thefan 100, the air outlet temperature of theventilation duct 300 is adjusted according to the preset temperature of the cleaning base station. That is to say, under the condition of ensuring that the actual operating current offan 100 andheating member 200 is in the normal range, then judge whether the rotational speed offan 100 is in the normal range again, further, only under the condition that the rotational speed offan 100 is in the normal range, just judge whether the air-out temperature is less than or equal to preset temperature, this embodiment has avoided judging whether the actual operating current offan 100 andheating member 200 is normal again under the arbitrary condition, whether the rotational speed offan 100 is normal, and whether the air-out temperature is normal, thereby simplify control procedure, reduce the operation burden of clean basic station.

If the controller of the cleaning base station receives other instructions, such as a mop cleaning instruction, a drainage instruction and the like, the drying mode is ended, and the drying instruction needs to be received again to enter the drying mode again. That is, when there is an interruption drying instruction, the user may not want to continue drying, and the cleaning base station does not need to resume the drying process but wait for a new instruction, so that the power consumption of theblower 100 and theheating element 200 can be reduced in this manner.
